Yangzhou is not only rich, the location is also extremely important, a bit similar to the municipality of later municipalities, although the governor of Yangzhou is only a three-grade official but is a symbol of glory, as the governor of Yangzhou is not a remote leader or posthumously posthumous, Gaozong was alive during this period was only the governor of Yangzhou Li Tai and the eldest grandson Wuji, and after the death of the eldest grandson Wuji, the governor of Yangzhou has been idle, the responsibility of Yangzhou Assassin is actually managed by the governor of Yangzhou Shi Fang Renyu.

Fang Renyu is a distant relative of Fang Xuanling, with a lot of achievements, and he is also a figure who can do both civil and military.

Zhang Xiaoguang also did his homework before coming to Yangzhou again, knowing that Yangzhou is special and there is such a retiring Fang Renyu control, although he does not dare to attack the local forces of Yangzhou Wharf with open fire, it should not be difficult to buy such a Fang Renyu who is about to become a leader. 、

With an idea, Zhang Xiaoguang did not hesitate, he informed his subordinates to contact several leaders of Yangzhou Wharf, and at the same time prepared a generous gift and brought a name post to ask to see Shi Fang Renyu, the governor of Yangzhou.

Zhang Xiaoguang's name post is very exquisite, and the vague position of the adjutant of Liaodong grain transportation envoy makes Fang Renyu disdain and dare not slack off, after all, the war in Liaodong is imminent, and Yangzhou also wants to contribute grain.

Out of official business, Fang Renyu met Zhang Xiaoguang in his mansion.

As soon as Zhang Xiaoguang saw Fang Renyu, he immediately said: "The lower official Zhang Xiaoguang has seen the history of the head of the house, the old minister of the two dynasties is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and has a prominent reputation for killing the enemy and quelling chaos. ”

Fang Renyu was stunned by Zhang Xiaoguang's words, he didn't know who this Master Di was referring to, and after thinking about it, there were few officials surnamed Di who he knew. Then he asked suspiciously: "Your master?" Who is your master? ”

"My lord's name is Jinghui, and he is currently the Ningzhou Thorn History and Liaodong Grain Transporter", Zhang Xiaoguang hurriedly introduced Di Feng, which was also Di Feng's explanation before his departure, if he encountered trouble with the local government, he would report Di Feng's name Di Jinghui, Zhang Xiaoguang was very puzzled by this. Di Feng has just been promoted to assassin history and has no reputation, what is the use of reporting it? Although he had doubts in his heart, he still did it now, not only did he do it, but he also thought that it was too much of an official rank to bluff people, so he took it upon himself to add Di Feng's official rank.

"Di Feng Di Jinghui?" Fang Renyu pondered for a while, and suddenly woke up, "Isn't this the son of Di Lianggong, who has been in the limelight recently, who is famous in the north and south with a song of Linjiang Immortals, and who broke the Maitreya rebellion in Xinning?" Although this son has nothing to do with himself, his son is an important minister in the court, and he can't be offended! ”

Thoughts together. Fang Renyu immediately smiled all over his face, put aside his official body and said in a personal tone: "It turned out to be Di Xian's nephew's adjutant, is Di Xian's nephew good in Ningzhou?" Why have you come to see me? ”

Seeing that Fang Renyu immediately became pleasant when he heard Di Feng's name, Zhang Xiaoguang couldn't help but secretly admire his master's foresight, and at the same time hurriedly replied: "There is a long history of Lao Fang, Di Tingshi is all fine in Ningzhou, but recently the sage transferred my master to be a grain transport envoy in Liaodong, so the lower officials came to Yangzhou to ask for a waterway wharf to transport grain." ”

"Escorting grain and grass is right. Yangzhou cooperates with you to produce grain and materials is also the responsibility of Yangzhou government, and the grain and grass are co-organized by the treasurer. You just need to use the dock, you don't need the old man to come forward for such a trivial matter, right? Fang Renyu was so sophisticated, he could see at a glance that Zhang Xiaoguang should have other plans, and he didn't say it directly, but asked vaguely.

Zhang Xiaoguang took the opportunity to talk about Caoyun.

When Fang Renyu heard that Di Feng wanted to monopolize the grain transportation on the water for a long time, he couldn't help but say in embarrassment: "This water transportation materials have always been occupied by merchants and those people in the rivers and lakes. Although the old man is in charge of Yangzhou, how can such an official come forward? Competing with the people for profit is not in line with the teachings of the saints! ”

"Long history is not sorrowful! There is no need for the Yangzhou government to come forward in this matter, but there may be a fight when we wait for the action, and at that time, I can ask the Yangzhou government not to intervene."

"This ......," Fang Renyu hesitated.

Seeing that Fang Renyu did not agree or object, Zhang Xiaoguang secretly said that there was a door. He hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and said: "Xiaguan is confused, I forgot that my lord also asked Xiaguan to bring some local souvenirs to Changshi to show filial piety."

Saying that, Zhang Xiaoguang respectfully handed over the gift list.

Fang Renyu took the gift list and glanced at it, only to see that there were a lot of items written on the gift list, which were all hard currency of real money and silver, except for some Ningzhou specialties, the most conspicuous thing was the Shu brocade of Jinguancheng and the treasure money of 50,000 yuan and gold and silver utensils.

Fang Renyu put away the gift list with satisfaction, and said: "You thanked your master on behalf of the old man, as for Caoyun, it was a good thing for the country and the people, originally the east of Luoyang rented Su first lost Luoyang Hanjiacang, and then transferred to Chang'an to fill Taicang, only these two places have a transfer envoy; Now that my dynasty is prosperous, plus military and civilian food, Cao Yun has really become a problem, I Yangzhou at this time to organize Cao Yun should be a great good, the old man will write to the court to clarify this matter, you can go to handle your grain and grass handover with peace of mind! By the way, if someone dares to sabotage the grain and grass transfer in Liaodong, you can handle it yourself."

With Fang Renyu's last words, Zhang Xiaoguang left Fang Renyu's mansion satisfied.

The master of the Cao Gang here, who is also the gold medal lecturer sent by Chou'er, has invited several leaders of Yangzhou Wharf, and when Zhang Xiaoguang returned, these people were already waiting impatiently in the wharf restaurant.

A gang leader shouted at the master in a loud voice: "You Cao gang master is a little bigger, right?" I've been waiting for almost an hour, and if he doesn't come back, the uncle will go first! ”

"That's it...... You still have something to do, take your leave! Led by this man, the rest of the leaders also got up and were about to leave.

"Wait! I have invited you to show you a bright way to make a fortune, but will you leave without listening? Isn't this a disappointment to Zhang's hard work? Zhang Xiaoguang said and walked into the private room of the restaurant.

Chang'an is evil, and the downstairs robs the merchant and gets drunk; The leader of the leader is the largest force leader in Yangzhou, this person is also surnamed Zhang Yi, proficient in fighting, there are thirty or forty people under his command, it is said that the gang is actually a small group composed of twenty or thirty people led by a group of rangers who robbed houses and robbed houses, and there is no gang in Datang, except for the ugly wind and fire gang, which is a freak catalyzed by Di Feng.

This Zhang Yi's upset was already waiting for him and he had nowhere to vent his anger, and when he saw Zhang Xiaoguang coming in, he couldn't help scolding, "You are an ancestor, how old are you?" Dare to speak out in front of me! ”

"Zhang has no brothers and sisters, and the elders can't be ranked, but there is a friend in the rivers and lakes who holds up the title of "Cao Gang Dharma Protector Master", have you heard? Zhang Xiaoguang said and walked in front of Zhang Yi.

"You are the Dharma Protector Master......" Zhang Yi didn't expect that the handsome and pretty gentleman in front of him was the Cao Gang Master who had recently become famous for his ferocity, he was just about to say something to confirm, but before he finished speaking, he felt a cold light flashed in front of him, and the person fell to the ground holding his throat.

Zhang Xiaoguang shot very quickly, he approached Zhang Yi and calculated the distance, and when Zhang Yi relaxed his guard and asked himself, he made a decisive move and cut Zhang Yi's throat with one knife.

Everyone present was stunned by this sudden scene, and no one thought that Zhang Xiaoguang would make a move without warning. (To be continued.) )
